I am using SharePoint Services 3.0 SP1 with a SQL back end in a 2 server 
implementation. When a user Checks-Out a document on a site where they have 
Full Control, they are not prompted with any pop-up window and a SharePoint 
Drafts folder is not created in their My Documents folder. As a full Site 
Collection Administrator, I can check-out documents as designed.  I would 
like to be able to define a Drafts folder for all users in SharePoint because 
each site has a difference owner that may also have challenges with 
Checking-Out documents.  By the way, when this user checks out documents I 
cannot find the document anywhere.
Thanks for any ideas.

The drafts folder is controlled by the Office application, not SharePoint. 
You would need to setup a group policy in Active Directory using the Office 
application policy templates and configure the draft folder settings there. 
Otherwise each user needs to do this in the correct application, such as 
Word.
